General best engine that would fit into an uno

Starting with a 999cc Fire engined uno, there are loads of options.

Obviously, you could stick anything in. Vtec? Redtop? Why not? Well, money might be one thing.

If you want to go the easy route then you could drop in a Punto 60 (1242cc 8v) engine. Will bolt straight up to pretty much everything and give you 15hp more over the 999cc. Not alot but still more usable.

Taking it a little bit further, you could drop in a Punto Sporting engine (1242 16v) which will bolt to the same mounts but will require more work to get it running. 85hp as standard so still not amazingly quick but not bad over the original 999cc.

One more step up would be the 1.4 16v out of the Stilo, 500, Panda. 100hp as standard and will bolt straight up to the mounts like the punto sporting engine. Again, like sporting engine, it will require more work to get it running. Pretty much doubles the power over the standard 999cc.

Taking it even further keeping with the FIRE family of engines is the 1.4 16v turbo from the 500/Punto/Bravo. 170hp as standard from the bravo and will in bolt up to the original mounts. Obviously will require a fair bit of work to get everything else to fit but atleast the engine will go in.
